  • Calle Olof Sigvard Örnemark (19 December 1933 – 4 August 2015) was a Swedish artist and sculptor from Jönköping Municipality, Sweden. He is particularly known for his large wooden sculptures, but he also made paintings and metal sculptures. His first large sculpture was Jätten Vist (the ) completed in 1969 and standing over 11 metres (36 ft) high next to the European route E4, at Huskvarna. According to the legend, the giant was on the way home from a party in Västergötland. He threw some grass and soil into lake Vättern for his wife to step on, thus creating the island Visingsö. In the 1980s his very large outdoor wooden sculptures Bounty and Indiska reptricket (the Indian rope trick) at Riddersberg manor, south of Jönköping drew many visitors. The mobile Bounty resembled a ship and the 103 meter high Indiska reptricket was the world's highest sculpture. Both were torn down in 2007 after their condition had deteriorated. His later work includes a wooden balloon in Gränna, Sweden and Morgans skip in Gratangen, Norway, showing the wrecking of Henry Morgan's ship in the Caribbean. Örnemark lived and worked in Gränna, but also maintained a studio on Visingsö. Örnemark died on 4 August 2015 at the age of 81. (en)
  • Calle Olof Sigvard Örnemark, tidigare Karl Olof Sigvard Örnemark, född 19 december 1933 i Jönköpings Sofia församling, död 3 augusti 2015 i Gränna församling i Jönköpings län, var en svensk skulptör och målare. Calle Örnemark är mest känd för sina träskulpturer i rivningstimmer, däribland den 103 meter höga statyn Det indiska reptricket, som stod på Calle Örnemarks dåvarande gård Riddersberg nära Tenhult mellan 1979 och februari 2002. ”Det indiska reptricket” blev ett stort turistmål på 1980-talet. Rekordet var 1984 då 118 turistbussar kom till gården på en enda dag. På uppmaning av konsthistorikern Josef Borbas började Örnemark 1987 experimentera med måleri. Han tog bl.a. intryck av och följde den på 1980- och 1990-talen dominerande riktningen i internationell bildkonst som kallades nyexpressionism. Calle Örnemark var 1955–1989 gift med Nanni Mertala (1923-2020) och 1989–1991 med Annamaria Nelson (född 1943). Han hade en son Mats Olov Örnemark (1957–2001). (sv)
